Hey friend,

You can remove that repository, which it seems had been added in on this server. This command will do that:

add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/php

That said, I highly recommend that you not upgrade this droplet. You have custom packages installed on what I’m guessing is a production system. Something is going to break. You might find that it makes more sense to create a new Ubuntu 18 droplet and migrate to it.
